From within the safe confines of her caring Aunt Lottie’s curiosity shop, she develops a talent for repairing broken machinery. When a mysterious woman darkens the door of the shop one day with an unusual clock, Sydney is whisked into intrigue over an inheritance—her great-uncle Emmett’s estate, Blakely House.  \nIsolated on an island near Northumberland, the house holds numerous technological wonders, promising financial stability to Sydney and Aunt Lottie. Sydney, however, is only oneof several potential heirs, and Emmett’s mostrecent will is missing. Sydney navigates unfamiliar waters to discover all the secrets of the house and of Emmett himself. With the aid of a housekeeper, Angel, and a butler, André, she unlocks both the house and her heart, finding anew sense of purpose.  \nThroughout, themes of brokenness and repair resonate. Although she possesses multiple strengths, Sydney views herself as fragmented and unwanted. She struggles with feelings of doubt in herself and in the Christian faith of her childhood. Her close perspective sharpens this spiritual tension. Her experiences in the house soon dissolve the barriers she uses to keep the outside world and God at bay. Embracing her own uniqueness, she unearths confidence rooted in faith rediscovered, and love blooms.  \nIn the redemptive historical novel The Curious Inheritance of Blakely House, perceived flaws are turned into strengths when illuminated by the light of grace.  \nMEAGAN LOGSDON  \nFANTASY  \nThe Keys of Persephone  \nKate Gray Glass, Contrarian Publishing (MAR 4) Softcover $18.99 (372pp) 978-1-965422-01-4  \nIn Kate Gray Glass’s fantasy novel The Keys of Persephone, a ghost without memories and a witch without powers form an alliance to stop a series of mysterious murders.  \nLane is a ghost tasked with capturing unruly denizens of the afterlife. Told that it is normal for ghosts to not remember their human lives, Lane follows orders without question. But when one of her friends is tortured and killed in front of her, Lane travels to the human world in search of answers.  \nLane meets Shepherd, a black sheep of her witch family due to her lack of magical powers. Shepherd is looking for her missing sister. The women form an alliance despite the fabled enmity between witches and ghosts. The more Lane and Shepherd dig, however, the more puzzles emerge. Other witches have gone missing, and a mysterious bone key with human teeth emerges at the site of a ghostly murder that prompts Lane to dig further. A cursed witch whom Shepherd knows confirms that this is oneof the rumored Keys of Persephone, gruesome in origin and fearsome in power.  \nMurdered ghosts reborn as dangerous monsters dog the women’s steps, forcing them to take larger risks in search of answers. Echoes of the myths of Persephone, Hades, Orpheus, and Eurydice resonate throughout the novel, with Lane and Shepherd denying the tentative feelings growing between them as impossible because one is dead and the other is alive. However, the story’s mythic structure leads to some details being glossed over, such as why the academy for ghosts that Lane attends only has twenty students at a time, given the number of ghosts that exist. The role that demons play in the afterlife is also hazy.  \nA queer coming-of-age story, The Keys of Persephone is an exciting fantasy novel in which secrets abound and friendships are sustaining.
